Sessions:




peace

6/4/2009

- 45 minutes basketball dribbling : explosive (alot of backward to forward transitions, these hit the ankles/hips so hard)

- submax jump barbell ankle hop: 45 lb. bar @ 100 reps

- submax jump STIFF LEG ANKLE DORSIFLEXED barbell hop: 45 lb. bar @ 100 reps

- submax jump barbell ankle hop: 45 lb. bar @ 100 reps

- submax jump STIFF LEG ANKLE DORSIFLEXED barbell hop: 45 lb. bar @ 100 reps

- near-max jump barbell ankle hop: 45 lb. bar @ 25 reps

- submax jump STIFF LEG ANKLE DORSIFLEXED barbell hop: 45 lb. bar @ 100 reps


the stiff leg variation absolutely killed my glutes... so much fatigue i could barely make it to 100... the submax jump variation was easier, got higher, so more rest between reps.

I plan on doing hops in deeper ranges of motion, for example, alternating barbell lunge hops, squat ankle hops.

I'll probably train again saturday, monday, and then lift hard on wednesday.. no idea though.

my rest days will just be light warmups/activation/cooldowns...

peace

going to do some crazy training tomorrow, can't wait...

ankle stiffness stuff with db's, mixed in with bball dribbling / dunks off the dribbling... less volume on the ankle stiffness so to not create too much fatigue during the session...

6/05/2009

felt so amazing/powerful/lots of pop today just walking around and during my light training... crazy

- light bball dribbling, jump shots, layups
- some real light attempts at dunking off the dribble from two step runup, close just lost the ball, didnt go 100% max tho, courts had just been wet and were drying up but didnt wanna risk anything


right calf/achilles are tight...

left calf/achilles is fine

peace



edit: hurt my right knee kinda mid-day, ran to get my camcorder because we were in a storm that had a tornado nearby, and i banged my knee into a wooden bed post sooooooooooo hard... i was on the ground and said (expletive) recording the tornado, that (expletive) hurt.

it'll be ok for tmw's hard training..

edit #2: after cooling down its swelling up... going to ice it a bunch.

My ankles would be dead after 5 minutes of that insane barbell hop routine.   How about a heavy barbell calf raise/ankle hop type of complex?  At some point I think you might consider experimenting with hypertrophy work too because I don't think your weakness is neurological or tendinous in origin as much as it is probably structural.   Do several sets of higher rep barbell calves and see if you have more leverage off your toes the following days. Something like 5 x 5 at a 2-3-x tempo.  If I notice extra leverage from something like that I'd be surprised if you don't notice it too. 

Respect. You are your own guinea pig/ lab rat. 

I would be interested in the results from this. I need to work on lower leg strength, stiffness etc too. Since it would not involve much bending of the knees, I should be able to start some training right away.

so my training is not going to have any heavy barbell lifts.. just bw/dumbell stuff.. so my dunking might get worse, or better.. im assuming better, bekoz im basically doing all impulse/explosive training.

anyway, after a week of doing it, my jumping coordination felt all off.. i just felt weird.. i might be having squat withdrawl though..

i busted out the camcorder after 15 dribbling up dunk attempts.. so i was somewhat fatigued.. ~36 " or so on this dunk.. you can see all the damn sweat on me.. anyway, jumped pretty good on my dribble ups, just slammed them all in and every one flew out.. whatever i'll keep practicing

going to put my vids on vimeo koz i dont wanna just put a bunch of b.s. on my youtube.... SCRATCH THAT -> VIMEO SUCKS.. just made a adarquimiscfootage youtube hah

6/8/2009

- 15 dribble up dunk attempts
- then 3 self lob dunk attempts

- here's a self lob pic:

after napping for much of the day, i feel incredible.. i feel so light and explosive that i'm going to try and land some crazy dunks tomorrow.

my stopwatch double clicks before nap were all above .14

after nap: .09, .10, .11, and a few above .14

tonight was comrade training..


vert: best of 27


18" dj: best of 28


33" depth jumps (way too high), results using jumpmat:


1st set: best of 5: 29.3
- 25.8, 27.4, 27.6, 28.1, 29.3

2nd set: best of 5: 29.0
- 27.3, 27.4, 27.6, 28.7, 29.0

3rd set: best of 5: 28.3
- 27.8, 27.4, 27.9, 27.6, 28.3

4th set: best of 5: 26.6 <look at how this set went though>
- 26.6, 25.5, 25.3, 25.6, 24.9 (COMPLETE CNS SHUTDOWN)

15% dropoff.. boom.


then did rfi etc

feel good after the mini-shock... right knee and right ankle bugging a bit.. icing helped ankle.. about to ice knee.

i think i did pretty good on the dj's considering all the dunks i did earlier today... i landed legit on the jump mat, so.. vertec result pr's for 18" dj = 28", 24" dj = 30".. so i hit 29.3" off 33" box.. thats definitely better than 30" off 24" box.. i landed stiff leg/toes somewhat pointed so.
